I read the book “The Fault In Our Stars” during the Lunar New Year Holiday and I really like it. The main character of the story, Hazel Grace Lancaster has lung cancer and she needs to carry an oxygen tank wherever she goes. Frannie, the mother of the lead role, thinks Hazel is depressed because of the illness; consequently, she encourages Hazel to attend a cancer patient support group. Hazel meets Augustus Waters who lost a leg from bone cancer and they fall in love with each other.
Hazel Grace is a lucky girl. She was prepared to die at 14 because of the terminal thyroid cancer when she was a 12-year-old girl. Nonetheless, she is still alive when she is sixteen. I think the key which make Hazel survives is not only the treatment she receive,

She is intelligent, kind-hearted and passionate. The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam doesn’t have any escalator thus all visitors have to visit there through stairs. Hazel struggles to climb the stairs of the house. I worry about Hazel’s health and I also wonder why doesn’t Augustus stop her. Soon I understand that Hazel wants to prove her ability. She doesn’t want people look down at her or sympathize her because of her illness. At the top of the house, Augustus and Hazel kiss with full of joy and they get the appreciation and applause of the fellow tourists. I think Augustus must be very proud of her girlfriend thus he kiss her. I am touched when I am reading this.
I have watched the movie based on the novel of the same name by the John Green, and I prefer reading the book than watching the movie as I found the movie is a little boring and it didn’t touched my heart. The novel describes the feelings of the characters in more detail and make I feel emotions about life. I can’t stop flipping and reading the novel as the storyline is interesting and it has an irresistible attraction to me. If you ask me to select the film or the novel alternatively, I probably choose the novel!
The Fault In Our Stars is an amazing book that tells life, death and separation. You will feel for the characters, laugh with them, and sob for them. It is the first book that make me cry for the characters. I highly recommend this book to all of my friends
The reason of why Hazel took the non-paying job at New Hope School in Boise City was because she felt bad about the school not getting the proper support that the school needs in order to run smoothly. Another reason of why New Hope School was broken and couldn’t pay the teachers was because the farmers had stop paying taxes which led the school to go bankrupt without no support from the government nor the president. Hazel had a newborn baby girl named Ruth Nell; she died on dust pneumonia when she was just a year
Second it was a very good book. It was good mainly because it makes you like the characters more and more over time so when they die it makes you sad and it puts a lot of emotion into the book. That is good because a lot of books don 't have that. Those
I went and read several other reviews on this story and the majority said that they loved this book. And another can be also added to that list, myself. I absolutely fell in love with this book. After getting a couple of chapters in, the story really started to pull me in. I would look at the clock and realize that I had been reading for over an hour when it felt like I had been reading for twenty minutes.
Through parts of the book, I am able to feel like I am walking in the characters’ footsteps. For example, when Danny is describing how he is brought up in silence (Ch.8), I feel like I am able to jump in the story and experience how that would feel. I do not think I would be able to tolerate being brought up in silence. I also believe the reader is able to realize all the struggles Reuven and Danny must encounter during their friendship. The characters also underwent a great change.
Initially, I thought this book was horrible because it is very depressing. I thought that I would never recommend this to anyone. However, once I had finished, I realized there were many great aspects. I ended up recommending it to many of my family members and
Yes, i enjoyed this book very much it really had me endcapped into the book at all times because there are so much happening and so much hatred towards 1 person. I would recommend it to others because it is a very good book and a easy
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
Maggie on the other hand, is characterized by her unattractiveness and timidity. Her skin is scarred from the fire that had happened ten or twelve years ago. Those scars she has on her body in the same way have scarred her soul leaving her ashamed. She “stumbles” in her reading, but Mrs. Johnson loves her saying she is sweet and is the daughter she can sing songs at church with, but more so that Maggie is like an image of her. She honors her family’s heritage and culture, by learning how to quilt and do things in the household, like her mother views their heritage.
The movie is both funny and action packed but the book is more detailed. So I enjoyed the book more. The film forgot a lot of characters and changed many scenes and it really frustrated me. Also in the book you can see more character development. Even though the film was not exactly like the book the director did a great job, and this still is one of my favorite movies.
Fitzgerald highlights the girl’s charm first thing when she is introduced to the reader, and he states that she "held my hand for a moment, looking up into my face, promising that there was no one in the world she so much wanted to see". Differently put, but it can show how her actions gain her sympathy and charm. "Before I could answer her eyes fastened with an awed expression on her little finger" is
It might be weird and hard to read, but after you get the hang of it , you will think that every character is very special and unique in their own
There are many movies and books that have tons of similarities and differences. I choosed A Series of Unfortunate Events, because of the nail biting moments that are in the book and movie. Plus,and you just want to know what happened. They both have many differences, but not many similarities. Some of the differences are very big changes and might make you like the other one more.
This shows her negative outlook on life because she had no hope for the future of the book she just assumed that it was over. Eventually, while Hazel and Augustus’ relationship grows, she realizes that Augustus shows her the meaning in her life, “It seemed to me that I had already seen everything pure and good in the world, and I was beginning to suspect that even if death didn’t get in the way, the kind of love that Augustus and I share could never last” (Green 278). She realized that Augustus showed her her meaning and happiness and while she was with him she lived life to the fullest extent that she could, which ties into the theme of living life to the
Like when Janina and Misha were hiding from the Jackboots, I never wanted to stop reading so I could find out what happened. Overall, this book was great and it taught me alot about what people were feeling throughout this horrible
It is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.
